Good morning from chilly Calgary! It seems that winter has arrived with a vengeance.

Get your copy! I received my copies last week … I was so happy to find the package on my front door, although I couldn’t think what it was, as I couldn’t remember ordering anything online. I opened the package and there they were … my complimentary copies of the magazine. I am very happy…
